setfilecon(3)              SELinux API documentation             setfilecon(3)

NAME
       setfilecon,  fsetfilecon, lsetfilecon - set SELinux security context of
       a file
SYNOPSIS
       #include <selinux/selinux.h>
       int setfilecon(const char *path, char * con);
       int setfilecon_raw(const char *path, char * con);
       int lsetfilecon(const char *path, char * con);
       int lsetfilecon_raw(const char *path, char * con);
       int fsetfilecon(int fd, char * con);
       int fsetfilecon_raw(int fd, char * con);
DESCRIPTION
       setfilecon() sets the security context of the file system object.
       lsetfilecon() is identical to setfilecon, except in the case of a  sym-
       bolic  link,  where  the link itself has it's context set, not the file
       that it refers to.
       fsetfilecon() is identical to setfilecon, only the open file pointed to
       by  filedes  (as  returned by open(2)) has it's context set in place of
       path.
       setfilecon_raw(), lsetfilecon_raw(), and fsetfilecon_raw() behave iden-
       tically to their non-raw counterparts but do not perform context trans-
       lation.
RETURN VALUE
       On success, zero is returned. On failure, -1 is returned and  errno  is
       set appropriately.
ERRORS
       If  there  is  insufficient  space  remaining  to  store  the  extended
       attribute, errno is set to either ENOSPC, or EDQUOT if  quota  enforce-
       ment was the cause.
       If extended attributes are not supported by the filesystem, or are dis-
       abled, errno is set to ENOTSUP.
       The errors documented for the stat(2) system call are  also  applicable
       here.
